At 6am this morning the apparent temperature at Melbourne was 5°, both Sydney and Adelaide were 3°, while Brisbane was a frosty 1.4° - cold enough to take Wim Hof's breath away.

Here, apropos of not much at all, is a highlight reel of the Mentawais shot last month. Average air temperature 32°, while the average water temperature was a base-coat melting 27°.

Fark, that's a pretty serious lashing man. I'd be needing some kind of counselling after that.

Can't understand why there's no resort on that little island. Onshore one side walk to the other..offshore! Great setup!
